Research led by Dr. Paul Macey, discovers connections between obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) symptoms and thinning of the brain's cerebral cortex. The study also discovers differences in these brain changes among men and women, which might explain why women are more likely than men to have cognitive symptoms like depression, insomnia, and anxiety when experiencing OSA.
